Oregano-Lemon Chicken Recipe

I've been known to make this recipe twice a week—it's so delicious. I like to call it "sticky chicken" since the slightly sweet sauce of honey, lemon juice and hers nicely coats the chicken thighs.

I hate to be a negative amid so many positives, but I made this dish last night...followed the recipe exactly except I took off the skin plus all visible fat....and it was disappointing. There was a lot of juice in the bottom of the pan that tasted okay, but the thighs themselves weren't sticky with sauce....just a few oregano leaves dotted their surface. They were well cooked and tender, but just not anything special taste-wise.

This recipe is amazing. Have made it a few times. Last night, my 6 year old daughter's friend was over for dinner. She is horrendously picky and yet she devoured this!!! Awesome recipe!

We were not impressed by this recipe. It does have a lot of oregano and lemon flavor but it's nothing spectacular. I may make it again but maybe using some seasoned salt or another spice or ingredient to make it suit our tastes more.

With 7 people, it's rare to find something they all will eat. This dish is a true winner!!!

My family thinks that I am a gourmet cook thanks to this recipe!

My family requests this at least once a month. The only thing we change is that we double the recipe. :)

Recipe was delicious. I substituted boneless-skinless breasts instead of thighs and pan fried. Lots of flavor. I will be making this often.

I always use TOH recipes and rarely leave reviews. I made this last night for two people. Everyone kept licking their fingers and moaniing and saying "yum" and also complimenting me as a cook. DOROTHY -- you did a great thing inventing this recipe. The only thing I did different was added a dollop of habernaro sauce.

I've made this dish several times now, and it's delicious!! Have used chicken drumsticks in place of thighs (just because I didn't have them at the time). I'm so lucky my husband eats everything I cook for him. He especially likes this chicken.

Thank you for sharing.

Sincerely, Joscy from Upstate New York.

This sounds easy and delicious. Has a Greek "feel" to it.
